UChicago RD Stats/Decisions Thread

<p>oh well, lets smoothly forget about that...</p>

<p>have any of you called to ask the status of your application? Have you asked if they made a decision on you yet? I'm thinking of doing that tomorrow because at lest I know then that if there is a complication that I am safe and can call and ask.</p>

<p>I never checked the status of my app; but was told that they needed to make decisions by Friday. This was also expressed to me by some of the other schools to which I applied, so I think it does bear some merit as they're probably working on a similar schedule.</p>

<p>They * needed * ? That interesting. Ill give them a call tomorrow asking stuff and just to talk about life. Ask them how theyre day is going and whatnot.</p>

<p>I called Jerry a couple of times today but he never answered</p>

<p>you have to call in the morning when he first gets into his office, at 9am cst</p>

<p>I applied EA, had everything in by early January, and have yet to receive a decision. I called each day after some decisions were released several Fridays ago - each time I was told to call back tomorrow for my decision, with two exceptions. Twice Jerry told me he would call me back within an hour with my decision. He didn't call back either time. Last Tuesday Jerry passed me off to Andre Phillips. Jerry said Mr. Phillips was aware of my situation; give him a couple of hours and call him. Well, I called Mr. Phillips Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Monday. I have left polite messages, but no calls have been returned. I continue to wait in limbo.</p>

<p>Those are just a few of the highlights of what has been over a month of anxious waiting. I am in disbelief at the ineptness of the Admissions Dept. at one of the greatest schools on the planet. Although I will continue to hope for the best and remain polite, I have no doubt that the frustration is beginning to show through my voice. I sincerely hope you will not have to endure something similar.</p>

<p>You seem to be somewhat jaded. May I remind you that you are not entitled admission there? Who are you to say what the admissions committee was looking for in candidates this year?</p>

<p>I'm on hold with jerry right now...I'm freakin out</p>

<p>"Andre is reviewing it right now...I would say tomorrow no later than 2 p.m. we will have a decision for you."</p>

<p>From the Office of College Aid(via phone): "If we can't make our award letter decisions....because we're waiting for another department to send us transfer credit evaluations....Admissions will have to give an extension.</p>

<p>on the blog it says that they will have all decisions out by monday (may 22nd).</p>

<p>Stupid blog. The only time it has made me happy was when the extended the deadline for RDs.</p>

<p>I know what you mean that thing hasn't been very useful. I'm definitely calling jerry today</p>

<p>Has anyone found out yet?</p>

<p>I called yesterday to ask if they reviewed by application yet, and Crystal didnt seem happy...that was the longest sigh and pause I've heard in my life lol. They hadn't reviewed it yet :(</p>

<p>same here...I spoke to jerry's assistant and she said friday was d-day :/</p>

<p>Omg. I can't take it anymore!</p>

<p>Were you able to talk with Jerry gonsenheim?</p>

<p>I spoke with him once on wed and he said to call back the next day for my decision...he never answered his phone. I basically gave up on calling him I'm just going to wait for that godforsaken email to come.</p>

<p>New update about the credit evals on the thickenvelope site!!!</p>
